Stony Creek in Victoria, Australia, flows into the Yarra River at the Stony Creek Backwash, situated under the soaring arches of the Westgate Bridge. This backwash marks the end of the creek's journey. One established paddling route explores Stony Creek itself and then continues into the western basin of a connected water body, with the option to shorten the trip to any desired length. Fishing is a noted activity along this route. It is critical for paddlers to be aware that Stony Creek Reservoirs, which are managed by Barwon Water as part of the domestic drinking water supply for Geelong, explicitly prohibit all water sports, including canoeing and kayaking. This restriction is a major safety and regulatory consideration. The reservoirs are separate from the creek section that flows to the Yarra.
